Marriage License
|
|
Here is some basic information about obtaining your marriage
license in Oregon. You can obtain it from any county in Oregon and it can be used in any county in Oregon. It
must be aquired no more than 60 days before, and no fewer than 3 days before, your wedding day. Some counties will allow
you to apply for your marriage license by mail.
For your convenience, the following links are listed below
to the three main metropolitan counties for the Portland area and one for Vancouver, Washington (an area we also serve).
Changing Your Name and/or Obtaining Proof of Your MarriageAfter the wedding, the County will not notify you of anything. It is necessary to go back to them
and pay another fee to obtain a certified copy of your marriage license. You may want to wait a week or so after
your wedding to make sure the document has been recorded, then contact the county where you purchased the license about getting
a certified copy. That's the one you'll need to take around if you decide to change your name--Social Security Adminsitration
first, then the DMV, and then your bank(s), etc.
The State of Washington laws are similar to Oregon, and I am authorized to perform weddings in Washington.
See the link above to Clark County in Vancouver, Washington. For further details, the best source of information is
always your County Clerk.
